Evidence
10. (1) In proceedings under this Act (including proceedings for the purpose
of obtaining an order under section 12), a certificate purporting to be signed
by the Commissioner, a Second Commissioner or a Deputy Commissioner and
stating that an amount of sales tax moneys is or was, or became, due and
payable by a company, or by a trustee, on a date specified in the certificate
is, subject to sub-section (2), conclusive evidence of the matters stated in
the certificate.

(2) Where-

   (a)  a certificate is given by the Commissioner, a Second Commissioner or a
        Deputy Commissioner under sub-section (1) stating that an amount of
        sales tax moneys is or was, or became, due and payable by a company or
        by a trustee; and

   (b)  before the certificate was given, it was finally determined, or after
        the certificate was given it is finally determined, for the purposes
        of some one or other of the Sales Tax Assessment Acts, that the
        sales tax moneys, or part of the sales tax moneys, to which the
        certificate relates did not become payable by the company or trustee,
        the certificate is of no effect, or ceases to have effect, as the case
        requires, in so far as it would, apart from this sub-section, be
        conclusive evidence that the sales tax moneys or the part of the
        sales tax moneys, as the case may be, referred to in paragraph (b)
        were or was, or became, due and payable by the company or trustee on
        the date specified in the certificate.

(3) A reference in sub-sections (1) and (2), in relation to a company or
trustee, to sales tax moneys shall be read as a reference to sales tax moneys
in respect of which a notification (however described) has been given to the
company or trustee under some one or other of the Sales Tax Assessment Acts.
